Though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely
on the ELM mail client. To
a large extent, Mutt is still very ELM-like in presentation of
information in menus (and in fact, ELM users will find it quite painless
to switch as the default key bindings are identical). As development
progressed, features found in other popular clients such as PINE and MUSH
have been added, the result being a hybrid, or "mutt." At
present, it most closely resembles the
SLRN news client. Mutt was
originally written by
Michael Elkins but is now
developed and maintained by the members of the Mutt development
mailing list.
